Maxioms by George Herbert
Art thou a magistrate? then be severe:
If studious, copy fair what time hath blurr'd,
Redeem truth read more
Art thou a magistrate? then be severe:
If studious, copy fair what time hath blurr'd,
Redeem truth from his jaws: if a soldier,
Chase brave employments with a naked sword
Throughout the world. Fool not, for all may have
If they dare try, a glorious life, or grave.
He that hath no good trade, it is to his losse.
He that hath no good trade, it is to his losse.
Hee that knowes what may bee gained in a day never steales.
Hee that knowes what may bee gained in a day never steales.
In the husband wisedome, in the wife gentlenesse.
In the husband wisedome, in the wife gentlenesse.
